1. Build the Case for HR Talent
Good HR talent management starts with the end in mind. A
useful first step in defining what HR needs from its talent is
what the organization needs from HR. Consider three questions:
• What value is HR delivering to the business now?
• Given external trends and changes, what value must HR
deliver to the business in future?
• What is the business value of closing the gap—in opportu–
nity, performance, and risk management?
